“Summer vacation” means something very different to us as adults than it did during our school years. Whereas in childhood and adolescence it meant whole months of relaxation, these days it’s more likely to be a long weekend at the shore, a week at Disney World or the Outer Banks with family, or a single afternoon in the backyard hammock.

What hasn’t changed is the association of summers with reading. As attorneys (and reporters and editors) we all do our fair share of required reading on a daily basis, so it might seem counter-intuitive that we’d want to read more in our leisure time. But the joy of relaxing with a good book, even if it’s just for an hour at the end of a busy summer day, is a pleasure we continue to seek out. Reading, after all, is a vacation for your mind.
